Pigeon Control

Effective Pest Bird Control in Brisbane

When you own a home, warehouse, factory or other large building, feral pigeons can rapidly become a problem. Pigeons were once called “rats with wings” by Woody Allen. The biggest problem is their acidic droppings, which will corrode the metal of your property, while the mess they make with nest material and feathers may create blockages in gutters and drains, resulting in damage from overflows during Brisbane storms. The droppings from pigeons are known to contain some problematic human diseases including psittacosis, salmonellae and pseudo-tuberculosis.

Pesky pigeons favourite roost, is the roof of homes, getting in through cracked or broken tiles or windows, as well as any gaps in your roof. Even on well maintained roofs, pest pigeons may roost under overhangs, on the top of air-conditioning boxes, water tanks, gutters and window ledges, in fact any sheltered ledge.

Pigeon Control including Quality Spikes & Netting

Pigeons have an inbuilt homing mechanism and generally remain around their birth site. If relocated, they will quickly return to their birth home, which is why they can be such a pest and relocation is not a viable option.

It is difficult to provide a high level of control since pigeons are free flying and new birds are always arriving. However, the critical issue is to break the breeding cycle, to ensure new young pigeons are not born at your property. With persistent action, the number of resident pesky pigeons will reduce.

Trapping, treating, bird netting, bird spikes and other bird proofing all have a part to play in pigeon pest control. The key is to remove their access to sheltered areas and places to nest. Have a look at our solar panel page for more information about our special system for proofing around solar panels to get rid of pigeons from nesting underneath the panels.

For best results a combination of both removal and proofing is best. Our experienced pigeon removal servicemen will advise which options will be most effective for your home or business. Unfortunately though once pigeons are removed others that have been born at the site in the past may move back in so you may need to do another round of pigeon control 6 or 12 months in the future to maintain control and ensure the numbers of pigeons don’t quickly increase again. Our removal options include trapping, treated grain and shooting. The proofing is completed with welded mesh, pigeon spikes and or netting. The netting and pigeon spikes we use are a high quality product with a long life.

Perhaps the fastest and most humane method of eradication is using a specially licensed pigeon shooter. This method is appropriate for some locations, such as warehouses, feed-mills and food factories. It quickly reduces feral pigeon populations, and also encourages them to move to other locations away from human habitation; it has no impact on other native birds that may be nesting in the area.

Feral Pigeons On a Roof

If you are a tenant, unfortunately we do need the owner’s permission to conduct any proofing work at the property, as it is structural work on the house. We would prefer if the owner is aware of the issue and requests the inspection from us directly so we know they are willing to consider our quote.

The service from both the original call during the Christmas break and the office response on their first day back was excellent. The service man telephoned and made an appointment and showed up on time and dealt with our bee problem efficiently and effectively and told us we may see a few bees that day but none the following day and he was spot on. Overall we received excellent service from Peter the possom and bird and bees man and their info on the website was also very helpful.read more

I have used these guys for a roof cavity vacuum and also for a gutter vacuum and have been happy with the outcome for both. They are a lovely team of guys who get in and get the job done, with no fuss, and minimal disturbance. They are also reasonably priced. I will continue to use them.read more

I received a call back promptly from Kenny even though it was a couple of days before Christmas. The guys were able to come straight after Christmas and were prompt and professional in fixing my bird nesting problem. Their assistance was very much appreciated.read more

After weeks of interrupted sleep we can all rest easy now the possums have been "locked out" of our roof. Multiple visits were required for the desired outcome but that was no problem as the roof space could be accessed from the outside of the house. Regular updates with what and when questions answered straight away. Now finally, possum free although the possum keeps coming back to see if he can get back in. All in all a great job done.
Many thanks,

I maintain the gardens at the Cultural Centre and occasionally have male turkeys mound building. This can cause safety risks with debris across pathways. Peter the Possum and Bird Man offer an excellent service. The staff are very helpful and professional and are on site within a day. They have great knowledge of turkey behaviour and always put the animal's welfare first.. They are back to pick up a trapped bird within half an hour to relocate them to their new home. So far 100% success on trapping my mound building males. Thanks for an excellent service.read more

Phoned Peter the possum man on a Monday, spoke to a lady who said they are flat out couldn't get there to Wednesday at the earliest and he would ring, never rang! We were sure we had a possum but the lady on the other end insisted it was rats as the indications pointed that way, still wanted them to come out, after realizing they weren't calling took her advise and put ratsak up there on the Friday and just had to kill a possum who was suffering from eating all the ratsak! Very annoyed as we love wildlife and this was the worst possible outcome!read more

I recently called Peter the Possum Man after a possum made its way down the chimney in a home I was selling. The property contained staged furniture and had been vacant for several days before we realised that the possum had been trapped in the house (poor little guy!). Though I called near close of business, Pete came out on short notice and sorted things out in a pleasant and professional manner. What a life saver! Thanks Pete and the team for your prompt response and great service.read more
